Weekend food diary: Yummy French toast recipe

July 29, 2013

After a rainy Friday I am glad we had great weather in Boston this weekend . In addition to great weather I enjoyed my time in the kitchen with lamb kabobs and French toast being the star dishes. Unfortunately the lamb kabobs were so good I forgot to take pictures so stay tuned for the recipe.

Sunday morning I was craving french toast so went to BJ’s and got 2 loaves of Challah bread for 5 bucks, jackpot! I saved one loaf in the freezer and I have to say the Challah bread at BJ’s is better than the Trader Joe’s Challah that I usually get.

French toast is simply bread dipped in a mixture of eggs and milk/cream. Eating french toast is almost like having desert for break fast and I admit to feeling a little guilty after having some. This dish is almost impossible to mess up but there a few important points to remember for good results.

Choose the right bread – Challah bread or Brioche are the best for french toast. Also make sure the bread is a little stale so it doesn’t fall apart. I usually cut the slices the night before and leave them out to dry or toast the slices before dipping in egg mixture.

Use medium/high heat – If you place the toast in a extremely hot pan it will brown quickly before its fully cooked so it is best to use medium/high heat.
